With prices of Kindle e-readers constantly going down, covers and accessories constitute the growing part of the total cost.
[ef-archive number=2 tag=”lists” ]
On the other hand, the money you save on the e-reader is something you can devote to get a really unique case cover. The one that will stand out from the bunch of cheap black leather cases you can buy on eBay.
Therefore, we tried to collect in this post the most interesting case covers for your new Kindle. You’ll find here the designs for both the 8th generation Kindle, launched in 2016, and the earlier model, released in 2014.
If you want to have something more original than the regular black or brown case, you’ll find here enough inspiration to dig further and find the design that will express your personality.
Basic Kindle dimensions ( height × width × depth )
| Model | Inches | Millimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Kindle 8 (2016) touchscreen | 6.3 × 4.5 × 0.36 | 160 × 115 × 9.1 |
| Kindle 7 (2014) touchscreen | 6.7 × 4.7 × 0.40 | 169 × 119 × 10.2 |
| Kindle 6 (2013) 5-button | 6.5 × 4.5 × 0.34 | 166 × 115 × 8.7 |
When buying the case, It’s good to the exact dimensions of your model. For instance, when you find an interesting sleeve on Etsy, that was designed for Kindle 7 (2014 release), you can be sure it will also fit the 8th generation model. It’s a bit smaller, but has the same proportions.
Cases for basic Kindle – recommended sites
If you won’t find the interesting item in this post, you can extend your search by looking for affordable Kindle covers on these sites.
Amazon – this is the obvious choice for all kinds of Kindle accessories. One thing we can advice is that you should search not only Kindle Store but the entire Amazon. Thanks to that, you’ll see also Kindle cases from Electronics department.
eBay – you’ll find here dozens of generic cases offered by different sellers, so the only thing is to hunt for the most attractive price. Folio cases, slim covers, and rotating ones are here. Some of the designs are sold as branded cases in other online stores.
Rakuten – while Amazon and eBay are obvious choices, there are also other sites to explore, if you still haven’t found the ideal case. One of them is Rakuten. You’ll see here several Kindle case covers, but they are mainly typical designs in most popular colors.
Etsy – this is the largest online marketplace for hand-crafted goods of all kinds. You can find here also a lot of Kindle accessories, mainly sleeves, not cases. The usual price for a hand-crafted sleeve is between $15 and $25, but some shops offer temporary sales.
As we are here to help, please ask us any question about availability and prices. We’ll try to find for you the best possible cover at the best possible price.

Kindle 8 (2016)
Thin and light for one-handed reading
New—The all-new Kindle is 11% thinner and 16% lighter than the previous generation Kindle, making it easy and comfortable to hold in one hand.
No glare in bright sunlight
Unlike reflective tablet and smartphone screens, the high contrast touchscreen display eliminates glare in any setting—even direct sunlight.
No eye strain, reads like real paper
Kindle uses actual ink particles and proprietary, hand-built fonts to create crisp text similar to what you see in a physical book. The blacks and whites on the screen are uniform, improving text and image quality.
Battery lasts weeks, not hours
Kindle doesn’t need the power to maintain a page of text, allowing you to read for weeks on a single charge.
Unlike tablets, no blue light to disturb your sleep
Recent studies have shown that evening exposure to blue light from backlit screens like tablets and smartphones can suppress the body’s production of melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone that helps the body fall asleep. Because the Kindle display emits no light, you can read anytime without losing sleep.
Thousands of books, no distractions
Kindle is designed as a dedicated e-reader. Indulge your love of reading without interruptions like email alerts and push notifications.
- All-new design is thinner and lighter, and now available in your choice of black or white
- Easy on your eyes-touchscreen display reads like real paper
- No screen glare, even in bright sunlight, unlike tablets
- Single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours
